I grew up in a touring and signed punk/hardcore/thrash/whatever-you-want-to-call-it kind of band. Before I even heard the term "graphic design," I was making xeroxed flyers, doing paste-up mechanicals for record covers, pulling silkscreen posters and t-shirts in mom's garage, making punk pins, inking logos, spray painting backdrop banners, etc., doing what I could to get people to buy the record, to wear the t-shirt, to read about the band, to build community, and to get them to the show. Little did I know, this unorthodox upbringing and DIY ethos would pave the way for my graphic design career.I have many years of professional hands-on experience building creative and unique graphic design that is meaningful, that cuts through the noise, and that gets your brand the attention it deserves. In doing so I have accumulated recognition by such institutions as American Institute of Graphic Arts (AIGA), Society of Publication Designers (SPD), the Art Directors Club (ADC), CMYK Magazine, and Print magazine.During my career, I have been lucky enough to have had the opportunity to work with some incredible people and have collaborated with talented business owners, designers, illustrators, photographers, editors, and writers in creating things that matter. I thrive working within teams as well as independently.If you are interested in creating things that matter, and in connecting with your audience on a deeper level, reach out today to book your next project.e: dcollinsco@gmail.comp: 626.476.6203 i: www.dcollins.co
